Our Story

Celebrating African culture through authentic products in the heart of Glasgow

Welcome to Larrytino African Store

Founded in 2010, Larrytino African Store has grown from a small market stall to Glasgow"s premier destination for authentic African groceries, spices, and cultural products. Our journey began with a simple mission: to bring the vibrant flavors and rich traditions of Africa to the Scottish community.

Today, we proudly serve both the African diaspora and curious locals looking to explore genuine African cuisine and culture. Our shelves are stocked with carefully sourced products from across the continent, from West African yams to South African rooibos tea.

What sets us apart is our commitment to quality and authenticity. Every product in our store is personally selected by our team to ensure it meets our high standards and truly represents African culinary traditions.
